Ana Cervantes
Intuitive Art with Ana Cervantes By Ana CervantesArt Wellness Breakout Session

The goal of this session is to let yourselves fully relax, let loose with experimenting, and practice just being. We will do this by disconnecting from our mind and plugging into our body’s wisdom and innate creativity. Our creative genius will shine and you’ll be amazed at the beautiful abstract art you will create!

Above all, my hope is that these tools and moments bring lightness to your spirit and adds to your own creative practice or self love practice.

Ana Cervantes

The materials required for this session are:

✨ pencils, pens, markers, crayons, paint, colored pencils, highlighters, white out… if it makes a mark, you can use it! 

✨ A surface to make your marks on: notebook, notepad, sketchbook, computer paper, canvas, construction paper, back of a cereal box, old card, anything will work!

✨ A relaxing space, water to stay hydrated and a comfy fit that expresses your spirit!

No technical art skills necessary, simply, but most importantly, trust in yourself.


Ana Cervantes is a multimedia artist and educator from San Bernardino, California. Ana holds a M.A. in Art Education from Azusa Pacific University and a B.S. in Kinesiology from California State University, Long Beach. Her current focus is studying the impacts of art education for mental health and well-being, and advocating for equitable arts access in TK-12 curriculum. She has worked with school districts and non-profits in the community since 2015.

Cervantes’ art practice for healing leads her journey. She firmly believes in the creator in each of us and the important signature message that will emerge within our lifetime. Her passion is holding safe spaces for people of all ages to tap into their creative-selves and their innate source for healing. Her art offerings are crafted with deep healing intentions, but above all, she hopes her art will bring joy and spark the creator in the viewer. She is informed by her dedicated studies in art education, kinesiology and psychology.
